2010 Chevrolet Traverse acceleration problems

Filed Dec 26, 2022 · Acceleration, Engine · MD

I was driving at approximately 30mph on a road the traction control/stability track light came on and my car lost almost all power. it went from 30 to about 5mph. thankfully i was on a slower road and close to my house so I was able to get home. If I would have been on a highway I could have been killed. i quick google search showed thousands of other complaints with the same problem, my question is why is nothing being done. are they waiting for a certain number of deaths??

After some major maintenance work summer of 2018, car began to show more work needed. Summer of 2019 while driving on flat city road, power steering became difficult to turn & control curves and, check engine light came on. Parked the car until able to repair. Mechanic repaired power steering module car seemed ok. After about 2-3 weeks, check engine light & power steering problems again , now engine power reduced while driving w/stabilitrak warning & back up cam sometimes works. Whle driving , hard to turn on curves, corners and at appropriate posted speeds bc engine slows on its own and wont give enough power for flats or hills. Heating takes much longer to warm cabin and window button sometimes wont work.

The biggest issue is intermittently going into "low engine" mode, warning blinks for only a second then the car will not go more than 10 miles an hour. This is quite dangerous to me, my family, and other drivers- imagine this happening on the freeway? Does this issue need to result in a death before it is looked into by the company? The car will not shift out of gears- happens intermittently with no warning signs whatsoever. The issue happens when I go above 40 MPH, the the rpms goes to 9+off the charts and I cannot go into the next gear. Since it happens only randomly mechanics have a hard time finding issue since it does not always do this for them. Our last visit suggested to replace the transmission, but at a price that is more than the value of the car, that is hard to stomach. Lots of complaints of this issue and considering the 2009 recall, my two cents is the 2010 model most obviously has similar manufacturing issues and a deeper investigation needs to take place. Other issues, car lurches/jerks when put into drive from park. Please back your company and in good faith take care of your customers as some of us work hard for our money, this should not be the result of something anyone takes pride in!

Randomly my car will have problems shifting gears using going into 3rd gear and the RPM will shoot up. Also when putting the car in reverse it hesitates and then starts sputtering. Once I turned the car off and restarted it it started shifting normally but about 10 minutes later it started again. I have this problem when I'm on the city streets or on the interstate. I wonder why there havent been a recall for this because I see there's other owners going through this and I have less than 101,000 miles on my car.

I was parked the traction control light came on. When I started driving the car would only go 10 MPH. When I looked up the problemb it sounds like a lot of traverse owners are having the same problem why have they not recalled. For this issue

When driving it on the highway, the check engine light came on in the car and flashed the words: traction control off, service stability, rear park assist off, engine power being reduced. The vehicle went from 70 MPH to about 25 MPH. I was almost hit by the other vehicles as this happened. The seatbelt has also not been latching fully and this morning the airbag sensor came on and said check the airbag system. But then went off after about 20 seconds, while I was stationary.this is clearly hazardous and makes driving to work and to my children's things impossible and extremely dangerous. Now I've done my research and what most people believed and mechanics was that it was the throttle body sensor being dirty, we had this cleaned last year. This also seemed to only occur after the temperature outside goes below 30 degrees. People also have found that it may be the engine module system that was serviced or sometimes the catalyst converter. But even after people have had these things serviced they have experienced the same ordeal I have and that's after having 3 or more mechanical repairs with no clue on what is actually causing the problem.

Drivers side 2nd row seat belt does not always stay latched. At 100,000 mi power steering pump went, month later lost control of steering, which turned out to be the rack. 15 months later the seals in the rack have blown out again. This is an expensive safety issue! The dealer did not see an issue as he listed 3 other makes that have the same problem. At $1400 per repair this should be a recall to keep my family safe! Also informed one front strut has no oil and the other is leaking. My chevrolet traverse is a money pit. It is an automatic transmission that on an incline will continue to coast backwards until you either break or give it gas, this is from date of purchase.
